Slime is easy to make, but it’s important that you read the directions, use the correct ingredients, measure accurately, and have a little patience if you don’t succeed the first time. Remember, it’s a recipe just like baking!
SLIME FAILURES
The biggest reason for slime fails is not reading through the recipe! People contact me all the time with: “Why didn’t this work?”
Most of the time the answer has been lack of attention to supplies needed, reading the recipe, and actually measuring the ingredients! So give it a try and do let me know if you need some help. On a very rare occasion I have gotten an old batch of glue, and there is no fixing that!
I highly suggest you read up on BEST SLIME INGREDIENTS! You can also learn about slime activators and whats so important about them.

STORING YOUR SLIME
I get a lot of questions regarding how I store my slime. Usually we use a reusable container either plastic or glass. If you keep your slime clean it will last for several weeks. And…if you forget to store your slime in a container, it does actually last a few days uncovered. If the top gets crusty just fold it into itself.
If you want to send kids home with a bit of slime from a camp, party, or classroom project, I would suggest packages of reusable containers from the dollar store. For large groups we have used condiment containers as seen here.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FLUFFY EASTER SLIME RECIPE
What’s the science behind the slime? The borate ions in the slime activator {sodium borate, borax powder, or boric acid} mixes with the PVA {polyvinyl-acetate} glue and forms this cool stretchy substance. This is called cross linking!
The glue is a polymer and is made up of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another keeping the glue in a liquid state.
When you add the borate ions to the mixture, it starts to connect these long strands together. They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and is thicker and rubberier like slime!
Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms the tangled molecule strands are much like the clump of spaghetti!
NOTE: Why is fluffy slime fluffy? The answer is in the foam shaving cream! Take a look at what happens when you squirt out the shaving cream, what do you notice? It puffs up with air! What happens if you leave a glob out over time, it becomes soupy right? So this is how fluffy slime get’s its fluff but doesn’t keep it’s fluff!
